ASD S1000D writers and consultants

With more military programmes specifying documentation to S1000D the need for skilled S1000D authors and software is increasing. This is an excellentalternative to recruiting authors and purchasing expensive software.

To support your S1000D requirements, CDG offers the following services:

3D Images and Animations for proposals, technical documentation, operating manuals and technical manuals, Army Equipment Support Publications (AESPs), other military manuals, training and E-Learning programmes.

CDG was the first company to use ASD S1000D in a major Land Systems technical documentation project for the Boxer programme.

• S1000D consulting services – to assist with the implementation of S1000D. This could include general advice about the benefits; the development and implementation of a plan; writing business rules and advice during the implementation phase.

Army equipment support publications (AESPs)

AESPs are required when supplying complex equipment items to the UK Ministry of Defence. If you are not a regular supplier to the UK MoD, you may not have the in-house expertise necessary to produce AESPs.

At CDG we can take your existing manuals and produce an AESP to meet the requirements laid down in your MoD contract. Alternatively, we can produce a complete set of operating and maintenance manuals in the most appropriate format for distribution to your customers.

Military equipment operating, maintenance, technical and documents

Complex equipment requires comprehensive operating, maintenance and technical manuals to ensure it is operated and maintained in such a way as to minimize through-life costs. A comprehensively prepared suite of manuals can help to differentiate your offering during the bid process and substantially increase your customer satisfaction with the product.
